Birds of Prey

Bere Grove Care Home

Preparing for Summer Strolls

Summer is on its way and our residents got creative making beautiful wind chimes to brighten up the garden!

The handmade chimes are the perfect finishing touch alongside our newly planted flowers, adding a little colour, charm and gentle music to our outdoor space. A lovely morning of creativity, laughter and getting the garden summer-ready!

Table Tennis Tournament

Sunshine, smiles and a little healthy competition today as our residents enjoyed a fun game of table tennis!

With the sun streaming through the windows, there were some brilliant rallies, plenty of laughter and a few very funny shots that had everyone smiling with cheers from the sidelines. It’s always a favourite to watch, fast-paced, full of fun and enjoyed by all!

Brackley Dementia Choir Returns

Our trip to the dementia friendly choir in Brackley was great fun and the first since the Easter holidays.

Everyone had a nice time catching up with each other, and of course enjoyed the singing!

Sunny Sips & Smiles!

A sunny afternoon in the garden calls for cheese & wine - our favourite - enjoyed with each other along with some music. Afternoon bliss.

Mill Court Care Home

Charity Bake Sale Success

We're delighted to share the wonderful success of our recent bake sale, where together we raised over £300 in support of Crossroads Care Surrey. The event was a true community effort filled with generosity, warmth, and plenty of delicious treats. From homemade cakes, to savoury bakes, the variety on offer was incredible and clearly appreciated by everyone who came along!

Gardening Time

There's nothing quite like a bit of fresh air and time in the garden. Our residents have been enjoying getting their hands dirty, planting flowers, and bringing some beautiful colour to our outdoor spaces. Gardening is a wonderful way to relax, stay active and connect with nature - it is even better to share it together. We love seeing these moments of teamwork, laughter and creativity in bloom.
